Keg at Mother Kelly's - Bethnal Green, London. Pours rich black-brown with a stiff, lasting beige cream. Robust, lots of roast, scorched earth, bitter dark chocolate, burnt pine, over-toasted brown bread. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with a little piney resin, tar, more earthy hops, bittersweet cocoa, drying ash. Good and toothy.

Flaska från SB. Skummar väldigt mycket, opak riktigt mörkt brun, närmast svart. Både rostad och och humliga doftare. En BIPA åt det lite mer rostade hållet med mjuka runda rostade smaker men humlen finns där framför allt med rejäl beska. Lite väl kärv beska och obalanserad men ganska maffig.
